New Unrest in Alawite Neighborhoods of Latakia – Curfew Imposed

New unrest has erupted in the Alawite neighborhoods of Latakia, Syria, resulting in a curfew imposed from this evening. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, one person was killed during the clashes. Unknown assailants attacked cars and shops, while authorities have increased their presence in the city. This unrest follows demonstrations by Alawites the previous day, in which three people were killed. The Alawite community, which has been targeted by attacks since a coalition of Islamists took power, is facing increasing pressure in the region.
